Amira Al Zein, a Lebanese self-taught visual artist, merges her extensive background in social work and international relations with a passion for "Art with a Cause." With years of experience in education, NGOs, and international relations, she champions the rights of children, youth, and women. Her art, complemented by versatile writing, shatters stereotypes and addresses societal issues.

"When blood should be thicker than water, why do they leave it to run cold?"

This artwork depicts a haunting tableau of the victims of genocide in Gaza, Palestine. The chilling scene captures the profound impact of conflict on innocent lives. The painting serves as a desperate plea for a ceasefire, portraying the collective suffering and loss. The title starkly alludes to the indifference and the neglect of this harrowing reality. Through somber tones and poignant imagery, the artwork confronts viewers with the urgent need to break the silence and address the human cost of conflict. I aimed to thaw the apathy, prompting reflection and a call to action in the face of profound humanitarian crises.
